A method of modeling the output of the transmitter as the output of a Markov chain, is modified in such a way as to avoid the use of large state transition matrices and M-step transition probability matrices. Large amounts of memory space in a digital computer can thus be saved, allowing the calculation of the power spectral density even for signals with large memory. A method for reducing the calculation complexity for M-PSK signals is also presented. The application of the derived formula is demonstrated for square-root-Nyquist filtered binary PSK and quadrature PSK signals, when distorted by a travelling wave tube.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":405932,"journal":{"name":"SBT/IEEE International Symposium on Telecommunications","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129601443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The algorithm uses broadcast information to make decision about process transfer and message routing, considering processor availability and system security. The algorithm establishes a path from the source to the destination by using information about the transfer and waiting time. Performance of the algorithm is analyzed using the elapsed time of process or message transfer and the waiting time to begin transfer. This algorithm can be implemented as part of operating system software to make decisions about process transfer and message routing in a hierarchical network.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":405932,"journal":{"name":"SBT/IEEE International Symposium on Telecommunications","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134193034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both single-site and site-diversity results in terms of derived path attenuation are presented for a single year. Path attenuation results compare favorably with the current CCIR rain attenuation prediction model. Diversity gain was found to be somewhat higher than the prediction based on a model that has given consistent predictions for temperature climates.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":405932,"journal":{"name":"SBT/IEEE International Symposium on Telecommunications","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121267514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In practice the borders between cells are not clearly defined, but are fuzzy. If a mobile is near a cell boundary, it may well have adequate communication with more than one base station.

In the present work, they explore the characteristics of the strategies and devise a method which leads to an optimum strategy. Full instantaneous and mean adaptation (FIMA) was found to be the best strategy; it bounds the performance of all the other ones.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":405932,"journal":{"name":"SBT/IEEE International Symposium on Telecommunications","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126060089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A method is described which allows a complete correction of the cell losses. This goal is achieved by combining a forward error correction with a bit interleaving technique on the basis of the (5+48)-byte cell format recommended by the CCITT. Hardware solutions found for terminal adaptors for high-quality video and audio signals implemented in a demonstration model of the European RACE project 1022 are described.

If the line of sight is obstructed by trees, buildings, etc., communication is possible only within a drastically reduced distance. The channel will be non-time- and non-frequency-selective for a bit rate around 1 Mbit/s. The various propagation effects such as power-law with distance, oxygen and rain absorption, edge diffraction, and frequency- and time-selectivity are theoretically examined and a simple two-path propagation model is presented. A more realistic channel model combining the two-path model with multipath propagation is then developed. As expected, the minima of the two-path model are attenuated by the multipath signal. But this advantage is paid for by a lot of shorter fades which in fact could be more easily handled with error correction methods.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":405932,"journal":{"name":"SBT/IEEE International Symposium on Telecommunications","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130263323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
